SNOW!!!

It's snowing outside!!



Oh me!! Oh my!!



Do you know what that means . . . . . . .








SNOWMAN POOP! EWE!?

I love Play Dough.

Birdies

This is what went down the other day.

I had just laid Ben down for a nap in his room. Filled his sippy cup with water. Settled his "Dut" and "Mee Mee's" by his side.

"Good Night Ben, I love you."
"Luv you too Mommy."

I closed the door and went to clean up the table from lunch.

*CHIRP* (notice it was very loud)

Ben,"MOMMY!! There's a bird in my room! He's gonna get me!"

Mommy,"No Ben that's not a bird it's just the fire alarm telling us it needs new batteries. Go to sleep it will be ok."

Ben, "Ok."

So about 45 minutes later Ben finally went to sleep.

NOTE TO SELF: We are not allowed to even touch the fire alarms in our trailer or we will be fined $75.00. I called the Maintenance personal and told them to come and fix it today or the poor little birdie won't see another day!

We're Good!

Just so that everyone knows. . . . Ben is no longer contagious!

So we are open for visitors! Finally it's been over a week and it will be nice to get out of the house again, and bring Ben with me. He's gotten so antsy from staying at home. I'm sure he'll be happy to get out!

Sickness at Our House

So Ben came home from Star Valley feeling aweful. He has a horrible cough with snot everywhere?! Well the other night he started having fevers. That would come and go. Each time they came they got higher and higher?! So this morning he woke up again with another rash and coughing so hard he was almost throwing up, so I took him into the Dr's office today.

I wasn't shocked to hear the he had a really bad cold. But I was surprised to hear that he had Strep Throat and Scarlet Fever?! So we are very contagious at our house. No one is allowed to come in until his rashes are gone. Then we were told to wash all of his bedding and disinfect our house. So we will let you know when it's all over. Until then it will be some long nights and some rough days!

How is your New Year?

Update

Our biopsy results came in on Christmas Eve. Everything came back as normal. Which is a huge relief! He was still diagnosed with Severe GERD or Acid Reflux. Which is like have major heartburn all the time. He has been switched to a different medication to help heal the erosion to his esophagus, and beginning of his intestine. His sphincter muscles are also a little weak which could be the cause of his GERD. We are heading back to the specialist about the end of January to see if the medication is helping. We are looking forward to having him eating regularly and gaining weight again. He is starting to become more active and eats consistently all day long.

We are all doing well with our colds. Which have been miserable!? We are all up at night coughing, wiping our noses, and trying to calm Ben down as he cries because the cough hurts.

Our Christmas was wonderful and we enjoyed spending a week with our family. It was wonderful and very relaxing.
